Look at the whole labor force, not just manufacturing. Manufacturing employment is not ALL employment. Here is a lot of details about the different sectors and how the recession affected them.
Non-skilled manufacturing jobs are simply not coming back the the US, because the workforce costs too much here compared to other countries. There is no way that cutting corporate tax rates is going to magically cause manufacturers to return from areas where they can use unskilled, cheap labor.
The key is to make the working population more skilled so that they can get 'skilled jobs'. Does trump suggest any job or career training or re-training for those displaced workers? Nooooo... Does clinton? Yessss.
"private employers have added 15.3 million jobs to their payrolls in the 79 months since February 2010, an average of 194,000 jobs a month. Total employment (private plus government) has averaged 190,000 a month over that period, as federal, state, and especially local government were net job losers."
You will have to find a more credible source then this one with a VERY sttrong bias.
"The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) was founded in 1981 to analyze federal budget priorities, with a particular focus on how budget choices affect low-income Americans. "
Not MIDDLE class or even upper middle class but, LOW INCOME.

We have NOW over 45 federal job training programs.
How many is enough?
What is THEIR success rates?
You claim Clinton has "new" programs.
What are the details?
How are they going to be evaluated?
Trump wants to make a LOT of changes in how the fed works and has a helluva LOT MORE experience in makings things work then Hillary, who has NONE, ZERO. ZILCH.

I challenge you to find a single reputable source that says it is morally superior to prioritize making the middle class more comfortable over addressing the basic needs of those most vulnerable in society. What you're saying is akin to saying that Food Stamps are unfair because they only go to the poor.
It's a bit like saying that McDonald's made a better hamburger yesterday than Bobby's Burger Joint, even though Bobby's burger was far juicier, tastier and better presented.
So, you're saying that Hillary Clinton is a juicier tastier burger? Well there ya go. Whatever does it for ya.
I'm curious why the poll numbers for Hillary on this thread keep slowly creeping up while Trump's number is remaining fairly static. People being talked into things?
